Damn brother.. that shit is on point for sure! Beautiful! Bro, what kind of rod you use for that anodized aluminium? It is anodized right

So, some welds come in plaid, huh?

Question from a layman: are the grainy patches caused by burning through the anodized layer?
martinmarinedesign
Hey @chaos22561 I’m using 1/8 inch 5356 by Alcotec!
martinmarinedesign
@zach.the.h.is.silent yup, the anodize doesn’t burn off but instead gets pushed around in the puddle!

Beautiful welds struggling with settings for inverter machine. Any tips? Have read blast on off is Best technique.

Hey @capt_joshcambron, I’m using a button on the torch to instantly start and stop the arc. Basic settings are 165 Freg and 65 Balance. Amps are set at 220 to 240.
capt_joshcambron
@martinmarinedesign thank you very much. Lots of practice ahead.
martinmarinedesign
@capt_joshcambron yes, practice is important! I try different material setups and settings a couple of times a week. Also, Keep a notebook of your progress and jot down basic settings.
capt_joshcambron
Will do for sure. Do you ever have to weld anodized to clean pipe. Most of our builds end up powder coated.
martinmarinedesign
@capt_joshcambron I usually have to weld anodized to mill when Ive made a custom pad otherwise all of my extrusions are anodized. Where are you located and what shop are you with?
zach.the.h.is.silent
@martinmarinedesign got it. I figured that’s what it was. Thanks for the reply. Your work is phenomenal.

@martinmarinedesign outside of Houston Texas. KoastalKustom mostly marine rigging focus on high end details. Expanding into aluminum fabrication, some shoddy work being passed off in this area.

@capt_joshcambron good deal! I’ll look you up if I make it out that way! You can help me with my speckled trout catching!
martinmarinedesign
Thanks @zach.the.h.is.silent !!
